Do you like to watch the daily news? Do you love detective shows? Then you need this lesson on the vocabulary of crime. Here, you'll learn about five common crimes and five types of theft. You'll also learn what to call the people who commit these crimes.
After the lesson, take the quiz at http://www.engvid.com/english-vocabulary-crime-criminals/
And don't forget to check out the full EngVid resource on 50 different types of crimes and criminals at http://www.engvid.com/english-resource/vocabulary-crime-criminals
TRANSCRIPT
Hi. I'm Rebecca from engVid, and this vocabulary lesson is about the topic of crime. Okay? Let's start by looking at a few headlines.
All right, the first one: "Banker charged with embezzlement." Next one: "Celebrity arrested for shoplifting." Last one: "Man jailed for manslaughter." Okay? Now, there are three vocabulary words there that have to do with crimes: "embezzlement", "shoplifting", "manslaughter". If you don't know what they mean, by the end of this lesson, you will. Okay? So let's get started.
So, let's look at five words that have to do with crime. What I've done this time is I've written the meaning on the board, and what I'd like you to do is to think, because in...It's possible that you know the word; some of them are fairly common, and some are not so common. Okay? So try to think what it is, and work with me.
So the first word refers to the act of setting fire to a building, or a shop, or something on purpose; intentionally. Do you know what that word is in English? It starts with an "a", and it is "arson". Okay? That's the act of setting fire to a building on purpose. Maybe the person is trying to get some insurance money, or something like that. It's called "arson", and the person who does that is called an "arsonist".
Next: What is the word for the crime of forcing sex on someone, or forcing someone to have sex? That one starts with an "r", and it's called "rape". Okay? The person who does that is called a "rapist".
Next: What's the word for the act of killing someone on purpose, with a plan? It starts with "m", most people are familiar, unfortunately, with this word, which is "murder". The person is called a "murderer", so you add another "er" at the end.
This one is the act of threatening to reveal secrets, and demanding money in order to keep quiet about those secrets. Sometimes... Or very often this is in connection with someone who is famous, a politician, or something like that. Okay? Do you know what that is? It starts with a "b" and it's called "blackmail". Okay? To blackmail someone, to threaten to reveal secrets.
Next, killing someone accidentally or through negligence. What's that? Here, we said killing someone on purpose, which is murder, but this crime is called "manslaughter". Okay? Manslaughter. Killing someone accidentally or through negligence. "Negligence" means not paying enough attention to something you were supposed to be paying attention to. For example, if something happens to a child or something like that. Okay? So, these are the first five. We have five more which we're going to look at next.
Okay, the next five words all have something to do with stealing, but different kinds of stealing, so we have different words for the different crimes. All right? Let's see if you know what they are. So, the first word refers to stealing in general. "Stealing", by itself, first of all, in case you're not sure, means taking something without permission, without paying for it. All right? Or from a place that's not your own place, etc. Something that's not yours.
So, what is the general word for stealing in English? It starts with a "t". The word is "theft". Okay? The word is "theft", the person who does it is called a "thief".
Next, stealing from a bank or shop with force or violence. With a gun, perhaps, things like that. What's that? It's kind of stealing, again, but it has a different word. It's called... It starts with an "r". "Robbery". Okay? And the person is a "robber". Might be a bank robber. It doesn't have to be only a bank robber. It could also be a robber of this in a store. All right?
Next one, breaking into a home to steal. What is that crime called? This one starts with a "b". Okay? Do you know what it is? It's called "burglary". Okay? Now, I know you may not be able to see these words very well, and also what I'm saying about the people, like this one who is called a "burglar", but there will be a resource on our website about this vocabulary. So you'll have the crimes, as well as the criminals, so you can always check there if you want to know exactly what the words are, how to spell them, and so on.
Next one, stealing money in your care. What I mean by that is this is a word to refer to the crime of... It's sometimes called a white-collar crime, someone who is in a... A position of responsibility, and is responsible for a lot of money, steals. Over time, usually. Not maybe at one time.

Cold blooded murder and violent crime are rapidly on the increase among the young people of Japan, in a country which once had one of the lowest crime rates in the world.
High school bullies, bedroom-bound cyber geeks and a growing number of teenage gangs have produced a current wave of brutal, violent crime that is sweeping through communities across Japan.
TeenageJapaneseKillers seeks to understand why this once peaceful society is producing a class of young, violent killers and why Japan itself is angst-ridden about this frightening problem. Through individual case studies, this documentary provides a fascinating insight into 21st centuryJapanese society. From the young killer who wants to be a lawyer, to families of the victims, this documentary attempts to make some sense of the bizarre, motiveless murders occurring at an ever-increasing rate throughout Japan

A Syrian refugee is using social media to dispel what he says are myths about what life as a migrant is like in Sweden.
"They give you a big house, a nice car and a job and lots of money... that's what Syrians back home think Sweden offers asylum seekers," Mahmoud Bitar told BBC Trending.
The reality, Bitar says, is that life in the Nordic country is much more difficult than most anticipate. Bitar's humour and willingness to share the story of his journey out of Syria to Sweden has made him something of a social media star.
But is life in Sweden really that bad for a migrant? BBC Trending visited Bitar to find out.

While much of the culture and entertainment still exists today, at the moment Caracas is a questionable destination. A deep economic recession has produced lawlessness and an extremely high crime rate. Shortages of basic goods and services are severe. And street violence is so prevalent most citizens don’t leave their homes after dark.

"Uyoku dantai" are Japanese nationalist right-wing groups of which there are over 1,000 in Japan with about 100,000 members in total. Well known for their black propaganda vans, they are often seen driving around staging protests with their loudspeakers outside the Chinese, Korean, and Russian embassies demanding ownership of the Senkaku and Kuril Islands to name a few. We caught up with MasayaKudo, a Right-Wing activist and leader of his own group, "Nihon-no-Kai" as he explained his philosophies and concerns regarding the Right-Wing movement today and their ties to the Yakuza.

A MassTransportationSystem that solved Criminality: The Transportation System of Medellin, Colombia.
It is with much pleading that our nation would need to refer to the city of MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA on how they progressed enormously and reduced criminality by a huge proportion. Interestingly, what happened in Colombia was that their crime rate, which peaked in 2002 numbering 75,000+ cases, was reduced to an amount less than 200 (according to CNN's Latin AmericaRising program). What they did was to resort to a mass transportation solution called "Transformation through Transportation" in which the city of Medellin benefited substantially in its road to urbanization. From one of the most dangerous cities to being described as one of the most innovative, it goes to show that change is possible with "willful" governance for the benefit of their citizens. May the Philippine government consider this amazing feat by the leaders of the city of Medellin to ease the agony of the Filipinos and possibly change the environment of crime to becoming a safe haven for the residents of Mega Manila.
*For Part 1 of the episode here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KGqUW5pZeg
(Check the link of Parts 2 and 3 which is listed on youtube)

TNT (Russian TV channel)

TNT (Means: Your New Television. Russian:ТНТ, Твоё Новое Телевидение, Tvoyo Novoye Televideniye) is a Russian brand name of TNT-Broadcasting Network, one of Russia’s top five television networks. It reaches over 100 million people throughout Russia offering a light entertainment aimed at a younger audience from age 16 through age 30.

Thanks to its blend of innovative reality programmes and a variety of original comedy shows backed up by probably the most aggressive marketing in the market, TNT demonstrated a record-breaking growth in both revenues and audience share. In the last four years, TNT’s national share of audience (6 – 54 years old) increased from 3.9% in 2002 to 6.9% in 2009.

TNT’s business model is similar to the US TV Networks whereby its signal is distributed by both own and operated stations and affiliate stations. In return the local stations get a share of advertising time within the content provided by TNT.

TNT delivers its signal through satellites in four different orbits, allowing its 20 own TV stations and over 350 affiliates to receive the signal in their respective time zones. TNT’s signal is received and retransmitted by local network stations covering in 760 Russian cities. Sale of advertising is TNT’s main source of revenue. As of July 2013 Roman Petrenko, previously General Director of TNT (2002-2013), is the new Chairman Of the Board (CEO) of JSC TNT-Broadcasting Network.

A minority of members, past and present, are from Gothenburg, Sweden; with the exception of Patrik Jensen, who is from Linköping; Per Möller Jensen, who is from Denmark; Adrian Erlandsson, who is from Malmö; and Marco Aro, who is from Finland.

History

The Haunted (1996–1999)

On 27 July 1996, Patrik Jensen co-created the band with Adrian Erlandsson, who had just become an ex-member of his former band, At the Gates, due to the bands' split up the day before. They had made their demo, called Demo '97, in 1997.

The band released their first album, while signed to Earache Records, the self-titled debut The Haunted, in 1998. The album resulted in The Haunted being praised as Newcomer of the Year by several magazines, and the album being called Album of the Year by Terrorizer Magazine. The Haunted made a respectable live reputation staging the Swedishmetal scene, as well the international scene, touring the U.K. with Napalm Death.

All Right

"All Right" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Christopher Cross. It was released in January 1983 as the lead single from the album, Another Page. The song was featured in the NBA footage bloopers during the 1982–83 season.

First it is important to know that there aren't any official "no go zones." This is a term used colloquially by many people but not most and it certainly isn't official.
Police refer to many areas as "Problem areas" and Rosengard is one of them. Today we visited Rosengard in Malmo, Sweden with Nils Karlsson who is a local politician and stayed at the home of Johann, a local in Rosengard.
While we learned a lot we certainly weren't robbed or attacked while walking through the neighborhood, even in one of the most notorious locations, Ramels Vag.
Donald Trump shined a light on the city of Malmo, so we have decided to investigate. Subscribe to follow our journey.

[Documentary] Our World Going Hungry in Venezuela BBC

[Documentary] Our World Going Hungry in Venezuela BBC

[Documentary] Our World Going Hungry in Venezuela BBC

This is a documentary by BBC World about how venezuelans are struggling with the country's worst economic crisis in its history. Food shortage, inflation, high criminality and more are putting venezuelan on the edge of massive riots throughout the country.
-----------------
Tags:
I reported for The Nation in late June, while Venezuela is not “in a state of total collapse,” as per The New York Times and other mainstream media sources, the country is in the midst of a very severe crisis, which is getting worse. Venezuelans are not dying, or starving, or looting en masse. But many, far too many, are suffering. Why? And what could be done to ease this suffering and help Venezuela get back on its feet?
These are difficult questions to answer. This is not merely because Venezuela’s crisis has multiple causes, short-, medium-, and long-term. Nor is it because some of the causes, and potential solutions, to the crisis are quite technical. The difficulty lies, rather, in the challenge, and perhaps impossibility, of disentangling the “internal” and “external” aspects of the crisis.
To an agonizingly large degree, Venezuela’s crisis is of the government’s own making. Instead of easing or ending it, the government’s actions—and inactions—over the last several years have made it far worse. Yet, the government has not acted in a vacuum, but in a hostile domestic and international environment. The opposition has openly and repeatedly pushed for regime change by any means necessary. In addition to fostering a politically toxic climate, the opposition’s actions over the past three years—its refusal to recognize PresidentNicolás Maduro’s April 2013 victory, despite absolutely no evidence of electoral fraud; ensuing violence that targeted state-run health clinics and left at least seven civilians dead; another wave of violence beginning in February 2014 that left 43 dead, approximately half of them due to opposition actions; and recent and repeated calls for military and foreign intervention—have also had a very damaging economic effect.
The US government has not only cheered, and funded, these anti-democratic actions. By absurdly declaring that Venezuela is an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to US national security and pressuring investors and bankers to steer clear of the Maduro administration, the White House has prevented Venezuela from obtaining much-needed foreign financing and investment.

Teenage Japanese Killers (Crime Documentary) - Real Stories

Check out our new website for more incredible documentaries: HD and ad-free. https://goo.gl/LwMcmY
Cold blooded murder and violent crime are rapidly on the increase among the young people of Japan, in a country which once had one of the lowest crime rates in the world.
High school bullies, bedroom-bound cyber geeks and a growing number of teenage gangs have produced a current wave of brutal, violent crime that is sweeping through communities across Japan.
TeenageJapaneseKillers seeks to understand why this once peaceful society is producing a class of young, violent killers and why Japan itself is angst-ridden about this frightening problem. Through individual case studies, this documentary provides a fascinating insight into 21st centuryJapanese society. From the young killer who wa...

A Syrian refugee is using social media to dispel what he says are myths about what life as a migrant is like in Sweden.
"They give you a big house, a nice car and a job and lots of money... that's what Syrians back home think Sweden offers asylum seekers," Mahmoud Bitar told BBC Trending.
The reality, Bitar says, is that life in the Nordic country is much more difficult than most anticipate. Bitar's humour and willingness to share the story of his journey out of Syria to Sweden has made him something of a social media star.
But is life in Sweden really that bad for a migrant? BBC Trending visited Bitar to find out.

Portrait of Caracas: A day and a night in one of the world's most dangerous cities

While much of the culture and entertainment still exists today, at the moment Caracas is a questionable destination.

Yakuza, Organized Crime, and the Japanese Right Wing

"Uyoku dantai" are Japanese nationalist right-wing groups of which there are over 1,000 in Japan with about 100,000 members in total. Well known for their black propaganda vans, they are often seen driving around staging protests with their loudspeakers outside the Chinese, Korean, and Russian embassies demanding ownership of the Senkaku and Kuril Islands to name a few. We caught up with MasayaKudo, a Right-Wing activist and leader of his own group, "Nihon-no-Kai" as he explained his philosophies and concerns regarding the Right-Wing movement today and their ties to the Yakuza.

50th Anniversary Event - Crime and Criminality in the 21st Century Panel

A Mass Transportation System that solved Criminality

A MassTransportationSystem that solved Criminality: The Transportation System of Medellin, Colombia.
It is with much pleading that our nation would need to refer to the city of MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA on how they progressed enormously and reduced criminality by a huge proportion. Interestingly, what happened in Colombia was that their crime rate, which peaked in 2002 numbering 75,000+ cases, was reduced to an amount less than 200 (according to CNN's Latin AmericaRising program). What they did was to resort to a mass transportation solution called "Transformation through Transportation" in which the city of Medellin benefited substantially in its road to urbanization. From one of the most dangerous cities to being described as one of the most innovative, it goes to show that change is possib...

INSIDE A "NO GO ZONE" IN MALMO, SWEDEN

SUPPORT JOURNALISM. DONATE AT PATREON.COM/TIMCAST
First it is important to know that there aren't any official "no go zones." This is a term used colloquially by many people but not most and it certainly isn't official.
Police refer to many areas as "Problem areas" and Rosengard is one of them. Today we visited Rosengard in Malmo, Sweden with Nils Karlsson who is a local politician and stayed at the home of Johann, a local in Rosengard.
While we learned a lot we certainly weren't robbed or attacked while walking through the neighborhood, even in one of the most notorious locations, Ramels Vag.
Donald Trump shined a light on the city of Malmo, so we have decided to investigate. Subscribe to follow our journey.

[Documentary] Our World Going Hungry in Venezuela BBC

This is a documentary by BBC World about how venezuelans are struggling with the country's worst economic crisis in its history. Food shortage, inflation, high criminality and more are putting venezuelan on the edge of massive riots throughout the country.
-----------------
Tags:
I reported for The Nation in late June, while Venezuela is not “in a state of total collapse,” as per The New York Times and other mainstream media sources, the country is in the midst of a very severe crisis, which is getting worse. Venezuelans are not dying, or starving, or looting en masse. But many, far too many, are suffering. Why? And what could be done to ease this suffering and help Venezuela get back on its feet?
These are difficult questions to answer. This is not merely because Venezuela’s crisis has...

identity theft (taking someone's personal information so that you can use their credit cards or bank accounts)
tax evasion (not paying your taxes on purpose)
bribery (giving money to a politician, police officer, etc. to get favors from them)
Misdemeanors are less serious crimes which usually don't cause serious harm to other people.

drug posession (having illegal drugs)
vandalism (doing graffiti or breaking things)
prostitution (having sex for money)

TRANSCRIPT
Hi. I'm Rebecca from engVid, and this vocabulary lesson is about the topic of crime. Okay? Let's start by looking at a few headlines.
All right, the first one: "Banker charged with embezzlement." Next one: "Celebrity arrested for shoplifting." Last one: "Man jailed for manslaughter." Okay? Now, there are three vocabulary words there that have to do with crimes: "embezzlement", "shoplifting", "manslaughter". If you don't know what they mean, by the end of this lesson, you will. Okay? So let's get started.
So, let's look at five words that have to do with crime. What I've done this time is I've written the meaning on the board, and what I'd like you to do is to think, because in...It's possible that you know the word; some of them are fairly common, and some are not so common. Okay? So try to think what it is, and work with me.
So the first word refers to the act of setting fire to a building, or a shop, or something on purpose; intentionally. Do you know what that word is in English? It starts with an "a", and it is "arson". Okay? That's the act of setting fire to a building on purpose. Maybe the person is trying to get some insurance money, or something like that. It's called "arson", and the person who does that is called an "arsonist".
Next: What is the word for the crime of forcing sex on someone, or forcing someone to have sex? That one starts with an "r", and it's called "rape". Okay? The person who does that is called a "rapist".
Next: What's the word for the act of killing someone on purpose, with a plan? It starts with "m", most people are familiar, unfortunately, with this word, which is "murder". The person is called a "murderer", so you add another "er" at the end.
This one is the act of threatening to reveal secrets, and demanding money in order to keep quiet about those secrets. Sometimes... Or very often this is in connection with someone who is famous, a politician, or something like that. Okay? Do you know what that is? It starts with a "b" and it's called "blackmail". Okay? To blackmail someone, to threaten to reveal secrets.
Next, killing someone accidentally or through negligence. What's that? Here, we said killing someone on purpose, which is murder, but this crime is called "manslaughter". Okay? Manslaughter. Killing someone accidentally or through negligence. "Negligence" means not paying enough attention to something you were supposed to be paying attention to. For example, if something happens to a child or something like that. Okay? So, these are the first five. We have five more which we're going to look at next.
Okay, the next five words all have something to do with stealing, but different kinds of stealing, so we have different words for the different crimes. All right? Let's see if you know what they are. So, the first word refers to stealing in general. "Stealing", by itself, first of all, in case you're not sure, means taking something without permission, without paying for it. All right? Or from a place that's not your own place, etc. Something that's not yours.
So, what is the general word for stealing in English? It starts with a "t". The word is "theft". Okay? The word is "theft", the person who does it is called a "thief".
Next, stealing from a bank or shop with force or violence. With a gun, perhaps, things like that. What's that? It's kind of stealing, again, but it has a different word. It's called... It starts with an "r". "Robbery". Okay? And the person is a "robber". Might be a bank robber. It doesn't have to be only a bank robber. It could also be a robber of this in a store. All right?
Next one, breaking into a home to steal. What is that crime called? This one starts with a "b". Okay? Do you know what it is? It's called "burglary". Okay? Now, I know you may not be able to see these words very well, and also what I'm saying about the people, like this one who is called a "burglar", but there will be a resource on our website about this vocabulary. So you'll have the crimes, as well as the criminals, so you can always check there if you want to know exactly what the words are, how to spell them, and so on.
Next one, stealing money in your care. What I mean by that is this is a word to refer to the crime of... It's sometimes called a white-collar crime, someone who is in a... A position of responsibility, and is responsible for a lot of money, steals. Over time, usually. Not maybe at one time.

Do you like to watch the daily news? Do you love detective shows? Then you need this lesson on the vocabulary of crime. Here, you'll learn about five common crimes and five types of theft. You'll also learn what to call the people who commit these crimes.
After the lesson, take the quiz at http://www.engvid.com/english-vocabulary-crime-criminals/

A MassTransportationSystem that solved Criminality: The Transportation System of Medellin, Colombia.
It is with much pleading that our nation would need to refer to the city of MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA on how they progressed enormously and reduced criminality by a huge proportion. Interestingly, what happened in Colombia was that their crime rate, which peaked in 2002 numbering 75,000+ cases, was reduced to an amount less than 200 (according to CNN's Latin AmericaRising program). What they did was to resort to a mass transportation solution called "Transformation through Transportation" in which the city of Medellin benefited substantially in its road to urbanization. From one of the most dangerous cities to being described as one of the most innovative, it goes to show that change is possible with "willful" governance for the benefit of their citizens. May the Philippine government consider this amazing feat by the leaders of the city of Medellin to ease the agony of the Filipinos and possibly change the environment of crime to becoming a safe haven for the residents of Mega Manila.

May the Philippine government consider this amazing feat by the leaders of the city of Medellin to ease the agony of the Filipinos and possibly change the environment of crime to becoming a safe haven for the residents of Mega Manila.

First it is important to know that there aren't any official "no go zones." This is a term used colloquially by many people but not most and it certainly isn't official.
Police refer to many areas as "Problem areas" and Rosengard is one of them. Today we visited Rosengard in Malmo, Sweden with Nils Karlsson who is a local politician and stayed at the home of Johann, a local in Rosengard.
While we learned a lot we certainly weren't robbed or attacked while walking through the neighborhood, even in one of the most notorious locations, Ramels Vag.
Donald Trump shined a light on the city of Malmo, so we have decided to investigate. Subscribe to follow our journey.

This is a documentary by BBC World about how venezuelans are struggling with the country's worst economic crisis in its history. Food shortage, inflation, high criminality and more are putting venezuelan on the edge of massive riots throughout the country.
-----------------
Tags:
I reported for The Nation in late June, while Venezuela is not “in a state of total collapse,” as per The New York Times and other mainstream media sources, the country is in the midst of a very severe crisis, which is getting worse. Venezuelans are not dying, or starving, or looting en masse. But many, far too many, are suffering. Why? And what could be done to ease this suffering and help Venezuela get back on its feet?
These are difficult questions to answer. This is not merely because Venezuela’s crisis has multiple causes, short-, medium-, and long-term. Nor is it because some of the causes, and potential solutions, to the crisis are quite technical. The difficulty lies, rather, in the challenge, and perhaps impossibility, of disentangling the “internal” and “external” aspects of the crisis.
To an agonizingly large degree, Venezuela’s crisis is of the government’s own making. Instead of easing or ending it, the government’s actions—and inactions—over the last several years have made it far worse. Yet, the government has not acted in a vacuum, but in a hostile domestic and international environment. The opposition has openly and repeatedly pushed for regime change by any means necessary. In addition to fostering a politically toxic climate, the opposition’s actions over the past three years—its refusal to recognize PresidentNicolás Maduro’s April 2013 victory, despite absolutely no evidence of electoral fraud; ensuing violence that targeted state-run health clinics and left at least seven civilians dead; another wave of violence beginning in February 2014 that left 43 dead, approximately half of them due to opposition actions; and recent and repeated calls for military and foreign intervention—have also had a very damaging economic effect.
The US government has not only cheered, and funded, these anti-democratic actions. By absurdly declaring that Venezuela is an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to US national security and pressuring investors and bankers to steer clear of the Maduro administration, the White House has prevented Venezuela from obtaining much-needed foreign financing and investment.

Yakuza, Organized Crime, and the Japanese Right Wing

"Uyoku dantai" are Japanese nationalist right-wing groups of which there are over 1,000 in Japan with about 100,000 members in total. Well known for their black propaganda vans, they are often seen driving around staging protests with their loudspeakers outside the Chinese, Korean, and Russian embassies demanding ownership of the Senkaku and Kuril Islands to name a few. We caught up with MasayaKudo, a Right-Wing activist and leader of his own group, "Nihon-no-Kai" as he explained his philosophies and concerns regarding the Right-Wing movement today and their ties to the Yakuza.

Gangs of El Salvador (Full Length)

El Salvador is set to eclipse Honduras as the country with the highest homicide rate in the world. ​There have already been over 5,700 murders this year in a country with a population of just over six million. El Salvador’s murder rate is now the highest it’s been since the end of the country’s brutal civil war — there is on average ​around ​one murder an hour.
The staggering death toll follows the breakdown of a truce between powerful, rival gangs and the government.

CIAWhistleblower Speaks Out AboutClimateEngineering, Geo-Engineering, CHEMTRAILS Vaccination Dangers, and Nine and Eleven.
Kevin Shipp a decorated CIA officer who refused to look the other way in regard to government criminality and cover-up. This documentary is a very important public awareness event that was held in California, Mr. Shipp gave an extremely informative and compelling presentation on numerous horrific historic and ongoing government crimes. The subjects Kevin Shipp addressed included Chemtrails or climate engineering, the nine + eleven false flag inside job, vaccination dangers and it's cover-up, and the governments total persecution of anyone who dares to tell the truth about rampant government tyranny. The paradigm we have all known has been built on deception and the dark agendas of the global power structure. The courage Kevin Shipp has shown by doing his best to expose government criminality and tyranny serves as a stellar example to all of us. We desperately need other individuals in government agencies and the US military to follow Kevin's lead . If we have any chance of stopping the completely out of control criminal cabal Deep State that currently runs our country and much of the world, we must all make our voices heard, we must all join the battle for the greater good. Please TWEET PresidentTrumpTODAY to Investigate Chemtrails!
Chemtrails
The secret government or Deep State has been spraying the skies throughout North America since late 1997 on an almost daily basis with substances that were first identified as "mystery contrails", but later were dubbed "chemtrails" by investigative reporter and author William Thomas. When questioned, military and government officials either deny any knowledge of these spraying's outright or they offer unbelievable and ludicrous explanations that only a moron could believe. These spraying's are making many people sick and are the first phase of a bio-warfare operation designed to effect wide scale population reduction .. What can YOU do and Find out what's going on: http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org
By cooperating in secret with jet fuel manufacturers, government agents have carefully kept the massive chemtrail efforts completely under wraps. Snowden added, “I am only revealing this program because there is no oversight in the scientific community, no public discussion, and little concern for the side-effects which are well known only to a few privileged people interested in continuing the decades-long chemtrail program in secret.”

Although the Caribbean has seen important progress on a number of fronts in recent years, crime is a persistent challenge. Many of the countries have some of the highest rates of violence and homicide in the Americas and criminality remains a major obstacle to continued development and sustained prosperity—not to mention a significant human cost.
The Inter-American Dialogue is pleased to partner with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) for a wide-ranging discussion on this crucial topic and the launch of the book, Restoring Paradise in the Caribbean: Combatting Violence with Numbers. Researchers from the IDB will present the results of five comprehensive crime victimization surveys carried out in Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, The Bahamas, Barbados and Suriname. The surveys provide new insights into the types of crimes most common in the region, who is most likely to be victimized, the role played by gangs and guns, and the geography of violence. The new data are critical to better understand the dynamics behind the numbers and to implement policies that can help make the Caribbean a safer and more prosperous region.

English Vocabulary: Crime & Criminals

Do you like to watch the daily news? Do you love detective shows? Then you need this lesson on the vocabulary of crime. Here, you'll learn about five common crimes and five types of theft. You'll also learn what to call the people who commit these crimes.
After the lesson, take the quiz at http://www.engvid.com/english-vocabulary-crime-criminals/
And don't forget to check out the full EngVid resource on 50 different types of crimes and criminals at http://www.engvid.com/english-resource/vocabulary-crime-criminals
TRANSCRIPT
Hi. I'm Rebecca from engVid, and this vocabulary lesson is about the topic of crime. Okay? Let's start by looking at a few headlines.
All right, the first one: "Banker charged with embezzlement." Next one: "Celebrity arrested for shoplifting." Last one: "Man jailed for manslaughter." Okay? Now, there are three vocabulary words there that have to do with crimes: "embezzlement", "shoplifting", "manslaughter". If you don't know what they mean, by the end of this lesson, you will. Okay? So let's get started.
So, let's look at five words that have to do with crime. What I've done this time is I've written the meaning on the board, and what I'd like you to do is to think, because in...It's possible that you know the word; some of them are fairly common, and some are not so common. Okay? So try to think what it is, and work with me.
So the first word refers to the act of setting fire to a building, or a shop, or something on purpose; intentionally. Do you know what that word is in English? It starts with an "a", and it is "arson". Okay? That's the act of setting fire to a building on purpose. Maybe the person is trying to get some insurance money, or something like that. It's called "arson", and the person who does that is called an "arsonist".
Next: What is the word for the crime of forcing sex on someone, or forcing someone to have sex? That one starts with an "r", and it's called "rape". Okay? The person who does that is called a "rapist".
Next: What's the word for the act of killing someone on purpose, with a plan? It starts with "m", most people are familiar, unfortunately, with this word, which is "murder". The person is called a "murderer", so you add another "er" at the end.
This one is the act of threatening to reveal secrets, and demanding money in order to keep quiet about those secrets. Sometimes... Or very often this is in connection with someone who is famous, a politician, or something like that. Okay? Do you know what that is? It starts with a "b" and it's called "blackmail". Okay? To blackmail someone, to threaten to reveal secrets.
Next, killing someone accidentally or through negligence. What's that? Here, we said killing someone on purpose, which is murder, but this crime is called "manslaughter". Okay? Manslaughter. Killing someone accidentally or through negligence. "Negligence" means not paying enough attention to something you were supposed to be paying attention to. For example, if something happens to a child or something like that. Okay? So, these are the first five. We have five more which we're going to look at next.
Okay, the next five words all have something to do with stealing, but different kinds of stealing, so we have different words for the different crimes. All right? Let's see if you know what they are. So, the first word refers to stealing in general. "Stealing", by itself, first of all, in case you're not sure, means taking something without permission, without paying for it. All right? Or from a place that's not your own place, etc. Something that's not yours.
So, what is the general word for stealing in English? It starts with a "t". The word is "theft". Okay? The word is "theft", the person who does it is called a "thief".
Next, stealing from a bank or shop with force or violence. With a gun, perhaps, things like that. What's that? It's kind of stealing, again, but it has a different word. It's called... It starts with an "r". "Robbery". Okay? And the person is a "robber". Might be a bank robber. It doesn't have to be only a bank robber. It could also be a robber of this in a store. All right?
Next one, breaking into a home to steal. What is that crime called? This one starts with a "b". Okay? Do you know what it is? It's called "burglary". Okay? Now, I know you may not be able to see these words very well, and also what I'm saying about the people, like this one who is called a "burglar", but there will be a resource on our website about this vocabulary. So you'll have the crimes, as well as the criminals, so you can always check there if you want to know exactly what the words are, how to spell them, and so on.
Next one, stealing money in your care. What I mean by that is this is a word to refer to the crime of... It's sometimes called a white-collar crime, someone who is in a... A position of responsibility, and is responsible for a lot of money, steals. Over time, usually. Not maybe at one time.

Teenage Japanese Killers (Crime Documentary) - Real Stories

Check out our new website for more incredible documentaries: HD and ad-free. https://goo.gl/LwMcmY
Cold blooded murder and violent crime are rapidly on the increase among the young people of Japan, in a country which once had one of the lowest crime rates in the world.
High school bullies, bedroom-bound cyber geeks and a growing number of teenage gangs have produced a current wave of brutal, violent crime that is sweeping through communities across Japan.
TeenageJapaneseKillers seeks to understand why this once peaceful society is producing a class of young, violent killers and why Japan itself is angst-ridden about this frightening problem. Through individual case studies, this documentary provides a fascinating insight into 21st centuryJapanese society. From the young killer who wants to be a lawyer, to families of the victims, this documentary attempts to make some sense of the bizarre, motiveless murders occurring at an ever-increasing rate throughout Japan

A Syrian refugee is using social media to dispel what he says are myths about what life as a migrant is like in Sweden.
"They give you a big house, a nice car and a job and lots of money... that's what Syrians back home think Sweden offers asylum seekers," Mahmoud Bitar told BBC Trending.
The reality, Bitar says, is that life in the Nordic country is much more difficult than most anticipate. Bitar's humour and willingness to share the story of his journey out of Syria to Sweden has made him something of a social media star.
But is life in Sweden really that bad for a migrant? BBC Trending visited Bitar to find out.

A deep economic recession has produced lawlessness and an extremely high crime rate. Shortages of basic goods and services are severe. And street violence is so prevalent most citizens don’t leave their homes after dark.

Well known for their black propaganda vans, they are often seen driving around staging protests with their loudspeakers outside the Chinese, Korean, and Russian embassies demanding ownership of the Senkaku and Kuril Islands to name a few. We caught up with MasayaKudo, a Right-Wing activist and leader of his own group, "Nihon-no-Kai" as he explained his philosophies and concerns regarding the Right-Wing movement today and their ties to the Yakuza.

A Mass Transportation System that solved Criminality

A MassTransportationSystem that solved Criminality: The Transportation System of Medellin, Colombia.
It is with much pleading that our nation would need to refer to the city of MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA on how they progressed enormously and reduced criminality by a huge proportion. Interestingly, what happened in Colombia was that their crime rate, which peaked in 2002 numbering 75,000+ cases, was reduced to an amount less than 200 (according to CNN's Latin AmericaRising program). What they did was to resort to a mass transportation solution called "Transformation through Transportation" in which the city of Medellin benefited substantially in its road to urbanization. From one of the most dangerous cities to being described as one of the most innovative, it goes to show that change is possible with "willful" governance for the benefit of their citizens. May the Philippine government consider this amazing feat by the leaders of the city of Medellin to ease the agony of the Filipinos and possibly change the environment of crime to becoming a safe haven for the residents of Mega Manila.

Teenage Japanese Killers (Crime Documentary) - Real Stories

Check out our new website for more incredible documentaries: HD and ad-free. https://goo.gl/LwMcmY
Cold blooded murder and violent crime are rapidly on the increase among the young people of Japan, in a country which once had one of the lowest crime rates in the world.
High school bullies, bedroom-bound cyber geeks and a growing number of teenage gangs have produced a current wave of brutal, violent crime that is sweeping through communities across Japan.
TeenageJapaneseKillers seeks to understand why this once peaceful society is producing a class of young, violent killers and why Japan itself is angst-ridden about this frightening problem. Through individual case studies, this documentary provides a fascinating insight into 21st centuryJapanese society. From the young killer who wants to be a lawyer, to families of the victims, this documentary attempts to make some sense of the bizarre, motiveless murders occurring at an ever-increasing rate throughout Japan

[Documentary] Our World Going Hungry in Venezuela BBC

This is a documentary by BBC World about how venezuelans are struggling with the country's worst economic crisis in its history. Food shortage, inflation, high criminality and more are putting venezuelan on the edge of massive riots throughout the country.
-----------------
Tags:
I reported for The Nation in late June, while Venezuela is not “in a state of total collapse,” as per The New York Times and other mainstream media sources, the country is in the midst of a very severe crisis, which is getting worse. Venezuelans are not dying, or starving, or looting en masse. But many, far too many, are suffering. Why? And what could be done to ease this suffering and help Venezuela get back on its feet?
These are difficult questions to answer. This is not merely because Venezuela’s crisis has multiple causes, short-, medium-, and long-term. Nor is it because some of the causes, and potential solutions, to the crisis are quite technical. The difficulty lies, rather, in the challenge, and perhaps impossibility, of disentangling the “internal” and “external” aspects of the crisis.
To an agonizingly large degree, Venezuela’s crisis is of the government’s own making. Instead of easing or ending it, the government’s actions—and inactions—over the last several years have made it far worse. Yet, the government has not acted in a vacuum, but in a hostile domestic and international environment. The opposition has openly and repeatedly pushed for regime change by any means necessary. In addition to fostering a politically toxic climate, the opposition’s actions over the past three years—its refusal to recognize PresidentNicolás Maduro’s April 2013 victory, despite absolutely no evidence of electoral fraud; ensuing violence that targeted state-run health clinics and left at least seven civilians dead; another wave of violence beginning in February 2014 that left 43 dead, approximately half of them due to opposition actions; and recent and repeated calls for military and foreign intervention—have also had a very damaging economic effect.
The US government has not only cheered, and funded, these anti-democratic actions. By absurdly declaring that Venezuela is an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to US national security and pressuring investors and bankers to steer clear of the Maduro administration, the White House has prevented Venezuela from obtaining much-needed foreign financing and investment.

Corbett's two documentaries are discussed, beginning with How Big Oil Conquered the World; the rise of the oiligarchy; the Yom Kippur War and subsequent 1973 oil shock; petro dollars and the monetary system; the creation of modern education, medicine, the green and gene revolution; control of the food supply, and the interrelationship of the global petrochemical industry with all of the above. 9/11 Trillions: Follow the Money is analyzed as a crime and follows the money through the Silverstein heist, the secret heist of Marsh & McLennan, et al., put and call option insider trading on many corporations; and the Pentagon's missing trillions.

Gangs of El Salvador (Full Length)

El Salvador is set to eclipse Honduras as the country with the highest homicide rate in the world. ​There have already been over 5,700 murders this year in a country with a population of just over six million. El Salvador’s murder rate is now the highest it’s been since the end of the country’s brutal civil war — there is on average ​around ​one murder an hour.
The staggering death toll follows the breakdown of a truce between powerful, rival gangs and the government. Police and military are now combatting the gangs head-on ​and, as part of its so-called "iron fist" strategy, gang members are ​being ​charged​ with a new crime — membership of a terrorist organization.
VICENews correspondentDannyGold headed to El Salvador to investigate what many are now calling a war between the street gangs and the government.

Gutfixx Education: Live Q & A with Scott and Clare 12 Feb 2018

Will you continue to buy what's on offer? Or will you demand better quality, organic foods that are grown in the land that you walk on. Can you imagine what the planet would look like if we stopped the pollution and the corruption in the food and animal agricultural industries. Lively discussion about the corruption in the food industry and the role humanity plays in ending the criminality. Consumers have the power to change the marketplace, but will apathy hold us back?

CIAWhistleblower Speaks Out AboutClimateEngineering, Geo-Engineering, CHEMTRAILS Vaccination Dangers, and Nine and Eleven.
Kevin Shipp a decorated CIA officer who refused to look the other way in regard to government criminality and cover-up. This documentary is a very important public awareness event that was held in California, Mr. Shipp gave an extremely informative and compelling presentation on numerous horrific historic and ongoing government crimes. The subjects Kevin Shipp addressed included Chemtrails or climate engineering, the nine + eleven false flag inside job, vaccination dangers and it's cover-up, and the governments total persecution of anyone who dares to tell the truth about rampant government tyranny. The paradigm we have all known has been built on deception and the dark agendas of the global power structure. The courage Kevin Shipp has shown by doing his best to expose government criminality and tyranny serves as a stellar example to all of us. We desperately need other individuals in government agencies and the US military to follow Kevin's lead . If we have any chance of stopping the completely out of control criminal cabal Deep State that currently runs our country and much of the world, we must all make our voices heard, we must all join the battle for the greater good. Please TWEET PresidentTrumpTODAY to Investigate Chemtrails!
Chemtrails
The secret government or Deep State has been spraying the skies throughout North America since late 1997 on an almost daily basis with substances that were first identified as "mystery contrails", but later were dubbed "chemtrails" by investigative reporter and author William Thomas. When questioned, military and government officials either deny any knowledge of these spraying's outright or they offer unbelievable and ludicrous explanations that only a moron could believe. These spraying's are making many people sick and are the first phase of a bio-warfare operation designed to effect wide scale population reduction .. What can YOU do and Find out what's going on: http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org
By cooperating in secret with jet fuel manufacturers, government agents have carefully kept the massive chemtrail efforts completely under wraps. Snowden added, “I am only revealing this program because there is no oversight in the scientific community, no public discussion, and little concern for the side-effects which are well known only to a few privileged people interested in continuing the decades-long chemtrail program in secret.”

Hunger in New Jersey & The New Poor

More than 1.2 million people in New Jersey are going hungry. Almost 400,000 of them are children. In 2013 the poverty rate in New Jersey hit a 52 year high.
But New Jersey's hunger problem is part of a national trend 1 in 6 people across America turn to soup kitchen and food pantries at one point during the month.
Across the country, fifty million Americans are food-insecure. Here in New Jersey the threat of SNAP eligibility cut backs and a lack of resources to support the growing demand for soup kitchens and pantries has left many residents struggling to nourish themselves and their children. How are they getting by? We take an in-depth look at the hunger epidemic plaguing urban America.
